Bandai UK warehouse employs cat as security guard

Millie is not the cat that got the cream, but the one who got the job and the competitive reward package.

The Bengal cat has been hired as a security guard at the Bandai UK toy warehouse in Southampton. Having put her paw to paper contract, Millie will be paid in cat food and fish.

The warehouse was on the lookout for a new security guard when workers spotted the vigilant-looking moggy wandering around the factory floor.

Millie’s climbing abilities and loud purr made her purrfect for the role. She will be guarding toys, including the new Ben 10, Power Rangers and Thunder Cats figures, expected to be top-sellers this Christmas.

A spokesperson from Bandai UK said: “With the appointment of Millie the security cat, our toys are now very well protected.”
